I do not believe this for a minute. Gruden is making 6.5 mill a year to do one game a week with no pressure. He'd be a fool imo to do it.

Gruden making decisions for the Colts and Coughlin for the Jags....division will come down to us and Houston every year for some time. Please let the Colts do this.

If I hated the Colts before, a Manning/Gruden wombo combo would push that super far over the edge. 

Brad Wells isn't a guy that just throws shit at a wall until it sticks. He's not a reporter or anything but he's a pretty knowledgeable guy, so this probably does have some merit.

That being said I don't consider Gruden to be a very good head coach, so I don't think it matters. He's known as being some QB guru, but his only credible QB development came with Rich Gannon. Kinda reminds me of Ken Whisenhunt supposedly being some QB guru and not having a single QB that you can accredit their success to him. Peyton Manning being team president would be interesting just based on the fact that he'd be an unknown at that spot.

Coaches are usually a different breed though. They live to coach. And ESPN is probably going to lose(let go of) the MNF contract because it's numbers are terrible, and whoever picks up MNF wouldn't obviously be guaranteed to keep Gruden, and ESPN isn't going to pay a guy 6.5mil just to be a studio analyst, I wouldn't think.

Guys like Gruden, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cowher make big bucks and get mentioned from time to time and rarely get close to an interview.

I'll admit Luck could change that to a degree and Gruden and Manning are really close

Interesting. I hadn't heard of him before. This just sounds like one of those fanboy dreams that never happens.

He's not the only guy talking about it it seems - http://foxsports975.iheart.com/onair/query-schultz-44132/report-irsay-and-gruden-met-15461687/

Bob Kravitz's take on it -

Kravitz also noted in a different tweet that he thinks Irsay is looking for a new coach, but has no concrete information on it.
